[Main Nation Ministry]

Aww that was a nice Prendy post.

Yo what the fuck that made me like Prendergast.

Super wholesome post <3

I keep telling y'all he's grown a conscience.

I wish Montgomery knew Prendergast grew a conscience, damnit.

[Bruke]

I have to say I really like Prendy’s plan for the territories. Someone should do that in real life...

It seems no one cares about their issues.

Well, Prendy's only really visiting to say he has campaigned everywhere.

Plus, if elected, I'm 99% sure he'll spend his political capital elsewhere.

Just Anderson and Atang in my case

Are you sure Anderson wants to co-sponsor? It specifically requires equity with minority owned and women owned businesses

[Gordano and Lysandus]

Senator Augusta Merriam (R-NH), Representative Caroline Simone (D-NY-12) and Repesentative Katherine Edwards (R-GA-3).

this is why Sullivan won't cosponsor.

She hates affirmative action, though if you throw something in there specifically about Native-owned business with tribal governments getting to control their own 'state program', she'll cosponsor.

Whats the official designation of tribal peoples? I will treat them like territories in the bill and consolidate them into a single state for the purposes of this bill.

Not sure, maybe look at New Cob's bill. It might have the official language.
